Collegiate High School goes beyond traditional dual credit by fully immersing students into the university atmosphere. CHS students don't just take a class or two online; they attend college full-time, use all campus student centers, join student organizations, and learn directly from COM's professor network.
Why Local Families Choose Collegiate High School:
Families save thousands of dollars on future higher education costs by knocking out two full years of college tuition and mandatory student fees at significantly reduced high school rates.
Students build mature time-management skills, advanced study habits, and independent critical thinking within a supportive collegiate environment, eliminating the traditional "culture shock" of moving off to a university later.
Whether you are looking to complete foundational general education courses that transfer smoothly to a four-year Texas university, or you want to dive straight into specialized technical training like process technology or cybersecurity, CHS aligns with your career goals.
